    I had a pin ship in from New York two years ago. Shipping was $425.00. It shipped with legs on. For me, legs on is the preferred way.

    2 months ago I was quoted $475.00 to ship a pin in from Phoenix. 1000 miles. For that price I hit the road. 2 nights in motels and gas was still less than $475.00.

    Around here, I have 4 Fastenals within 10 miles from me. These stores will not/do not furnish pallets.

    If there is a pin in my area that you want I can help you out with buying it and getting it shipped but you will be using STI; I won’t do Fastenal unless you want to pay me a nice chunk for my labor; those Fastenal savings are not free.

    Quoted from razorsedge:

    In other shipping trivia, shipping from overseas to Australia isn't too bad overall. Reasonable. There is one Distinct exception for us here, that is Marco who use "iGlobal" to contract their international shipments. This means we can order US$50 of parts in a fairly small parcel and pay sometimes as much as US$120 for the privelage. The same exact parts from a US store with "normal" shipping, this cost becomes more like US$30-50. For that reason most I know in Oz avoid Marco like the plague, unless there is No Other Option for supply.

    I don't understand Marco with its shipping "choices". Why won't Marco ship direct? I have shipped some items to an Aussie contact for this reason. He tells me what to buy so I buy and gather at my home, figure the shipping and related charges, he Paypal's me and I ship. We have no shipping hassles. but it is such a waste of time.
